Ottoman forces return in late summer 1529 to that part of Hungary formerly held by Zápolya and occupied by Ferdinand.

On August 18, Suleimen, hoping to remove at one blow all further intervention by the Habsburgs, had reached reached the Mohács plain, to be greeted by a substantial cavalry force led by John Zápolya (which will later accompany Suleiman to Vienna).

Zápolya pays him homage and helps him recapture several fortresses lost since the Battle of Mohács to the Austrians, including Buda, which falls on September 8.
